awesome thing ever you could probably walk up under yeah you got to get a boost to get up in that thing oh yeah it was yeah I had a set of 44 monster Mudders on it so he you had to get on up bro it

you know that sin sticky boost out oh yeah yeah for the for those watching the video version demonstrate what sticking your Boost out is [Music] um why is that called a boost we’d have to we’d have to probably use the internet we ain’t gonna do that we ain’t got time for that so no we don’t well you know what link we had we had some uh uh uh uh a mother CNN a picture of Millie that was a picture of a baby that was uh first myrtlebeast babies well oh you talking about the one before the youngest Myrtle Beast yep okay all right I got you well we got more Myrtle young Myrtle Beast three of them

y’all be good to your parents y’all y’all need to mind your parents don’t stick your boots out don’t stick that boost out don’t you do it put that boots back away well I I bet they ain’t stick a boost out once in a while though they know how to do it not even know they’re doing it oh it’s instinctive I thought that was a pretty neat thing that uh we’ve got people watching and got to little baby is one month old 13 and six months old and yeah we love to see little kids we love to see pictures of little kids watching our show uh-huh send in the pictures of your kids watching our show don’t be creepy Dad don’t don’t know I think it’s kind of good because it if the little kids is watching that means your mom’s and dads that’s really what’s happening yeah that’s right so you know just just leave them children alone if they want to take pictures of them let them be watching the show with us that that’s quite all right I love that sending them pictures because back when I had a a babysitter when I was babysat I had a number of them and there was one thing that was true of all of them and Christy said it was true of her babysitter too when she was in grade school they’d put you outside and locked a door when their stories came on so they could watch their stories you know what I’m talking about sad they put they put us outside and Christy’s babysitter would lock the door so they wouldn’t come in and interrupt the babysit her watching her stories you know what stories are don’t you the soap operas yeah yep I guess so and yeah it was like I was outside being young and restless and she was inside watching Young and Restless that’s what was happening and it you know what that’s that’s what could be happening here but we are promoting more convergence let the kids come let the kids come to the table of dispatches from Myrtle Beach that we will raise them yep I mean my fir you know my first babysitter Loretta I called her redder yeah uh did did you hear she passed away uh uh about a month ago two months I didn’t know that yeah mom called me told me that Loretta passed away I was so sad and I was like I feel like a I wish I would have been able to go home I wasn’t able to go home to go to the service and she she didn’t find out until after the service anyway I don’t think she had a lot of family left but the last few times I’ve been home she would come over to Mom’s house and see me all like four foot seven inches yeah she’s like this little woman it was like the perfect first babysitter she didn’t lock me out for anything you know she loved me like one of her own you know such a sweet woman and I’m so sad that she’s gone and that there were you know she didn’t and I didn’t hear about it until afterward so rest in peace Loretta redder we love you she was she was the best she was a good one but we’re gonna raise the Next Generation without even knowing it without even knowing it that’s right that’s what we’re doing today we’re working on we’re working on it without even really working yeah yeah no they think much like work is it keep the kids coming see there’s some pictures it’s time for another edition of Myrtle Beach mailbag well I got I got some uh emails we’re gonna go over this week says I got one from Patty Farley it says what do you call a guy who cries when he masturbates oh here we go again oh uh uh uh is the word jerk involved it it’s getting pretty close yep tearjerker I got it that’s right you got it that’s right I didn’t have it even when I said jerk I didn’t have it but then I got it give me another one I’m Gonna Roll okay Elizabeth Hauser says why should you take Viagra for a sunburn is this true I think it is yeah yeah why should you take Viagra for a sunburn he says it won’t cure it but it’ll keep the sheets off your legs at night that’s a good one that’s a good okay so just to set the record straight you do not take Viagra to treat a sunburn but the last thing you want is is something sticking to those hot legs you gotta you gotta make a tent somehow you figure something out besides having to take Viagra to ain’t that right no you can’t [Laughter] okay we’ll just take some Viagra when you get sunburned

favorite family traditions family traditions Donny Danny Donny see you have the benefit of knowing that you’re asking this question I don’t so you need to go first when I was growing up I guess my favorite family tradition was you know I I’m kind of I’m like you were the first grandchild uh-huh and I was the first grandchild too and every year because my birthday was the end of May it was it was usually always warm and we had a big cookout and had a big birthday party at our house on little old house we had Mom and Daddy had that we lived in on 9th Street and all her brothers Nana’s brothers and sisters would come in summer a couple of Summer Daddy’s Daddy had too many brothers and sisters all of them couldn’t come he had ten nine that’s right and but some of them would come so we’d have a i my favorite family tradition that I think back on was probably because from the time I was four years old to nine years old we I had a birthday party that was just for me that all those people come to to wish me happy birthday sounded like a family reunion that’s huge I’m telling but it was really neat because you I I think back on that get out of here well I think back he’s hallucinating got a gnat and uh you sure I reckon it might be hallucinating thinking about all them great times when I was growing up that uh you know having a a birthday party and getting to see all my aunts and uncles and you were the center of attention and I was hey I was the senator and that’s when you know Nana’s mama was still living and when she was living I was always the center of attention because talking about Charlie yep Charlie that would be correct surely that that was my favorite family tradition all those years and of course we try to do that still with you know with with our family and people have birthdays and we can’t get together me and Nancy always call them and sing them happy birthday you know to them so that you know that’s one of the things that some families don’t have this tradition and this is an i a Neil family tradition that you’ve passed along to me and that’s when you call somebody to wish them a happy birthday you give them the song you sing to them you get them on the phone they say hello happy birthday to you and you sing the whole song not half of it all of it that’s something that we’ve always done and um yeah I do that now and I’ll do that with um friends because they don’t you know they’re not ready for it it’s like what uh what you know people it only happens once a year people are never fully prepared to know how to act when they’re being sung to like if they’re at the party and it’s like oh it’s that time again everybody’s gonna sing to me it’s like where do you you know some people weigh some people like oh everybody’s looking at me it’s like I don’t know what it is Dad but I just I hate to break it to you some people don’t like to be the center of attention they’re weirdos I don’t know what the problem is you and I I think we got this figured out birthdays are a great time everybody’s singing to me yes yes yes eye contact waving shaking of hands yes I celebrate me yes sing to me sing to me keep singing sing it again is there a second verse to this you know some people like oh I don’t know I don’t know what to do hey you wish him happy birthday like oh happy birthday to you too you got to be better than that you got to be ready for it I got friends that even still back in ghosts in this my age or older and a lot of me and Nancy still call them and when they answer the phone I sing Happy Birthday to and listen some of them if they don’t don’t answer and it’s cut they get I get a voicemail we sing it to them anyway and then we’ll call them back and sing them and hey oh they they call me and Nancy back and say I saved that I I don’t even erase it from my phone I keep it to where yeah it’s a gift I like she said they tell me say you know that’s a highlight of my day even though you know they got family that I don’t know if they that anybody calls on the scene but we hey we call them and sing Happy Birthday to them and they love it it’s a gift it’s a gift in and of itself and I do think it gets you off the hook from actually having to buy a real gift yeah yeah I ain’t gonna buy them all a gift now that is a gift that’s a gift that was your gift that’s what I was going to start saying it then and that was your gift you better save it you know sometimes me and Nancy kind of when we’re getting ready to call we do some humming and sometimes it you know it when you know all about this when you sing sometimes it’s good and then boy sometimes it ain’t good then you then you tell them and then say well I sang Happy Birthday to you but they want the best I ever done but I still hope you enjoyed it so you know I bite the bullet on it me and Nancy yeah yeah happy birthday you need a pitch pipe you need a pitch pipe yeah can you call yeah I think my family tradition is I think it’s watching Survivor like over the pandemic like that was our life all five of us we watch it together and now that like new seasons of Survivor whenever they come out we’re like all right we’re gonna watch it and you know when the kids would literally off at College Lincoln going off to college uh yeah it’s still introduced we still talk about it and sometimes we still wait until they come back home to kind of catch up or watch it um oh yeah that that’s that’s the one that came to my mind oh we want to make an announcement we’re taking a spring break that’s right for the next four weeks we’re taking off so no dispatches and we’re returning for a fresh new episode on May 16th so we’ll see you back then on May the 16th well I got um uh email from Nicole Crawford and she’s in a dilemma with her husband of 10 years from Michigan okay and she said I’m a Southern girl through and through I get the idea that you might love Southern cuisine as much as I do and would love your advice on what to cook for my husband that will make him fall head over heels in love with Southern food despite every attempt I’ve made to cook certain dishes for him take time for the best Southern restaurants I think of or share with him all the nagas Naga stalls you I have for southern food he has yet to get on board how can I make him understand that he’s missing out on some of the best food he ever put in his mouth well you know Nicola I’ve been thinking about this a little bit you know when I read this email I said I I got a kind of wait and bring this one up because I you know I got to thinking well he’s from Michigan and she didn’t tell me what all she’s cooked for women yes I figured she’d cooked him some fried chicken or right doing stuff like that but uh you know maybe she’s not a good cook do you think about that maybe well I thought yeah um sorry Nicole I I I didn’t say that link said that Nicole but you know that may be you know what were you giving to call the benefit of the doubt you you were yeah but we you know um you know when people grow up in different parts of this country they get used to all different the kind of food that they’re used to and uh I don’t know how I think when you’re up that way people like cyber crap and like stuff like that you know they ain’t much on uh grits and you know when you get to tell them about grips they don’t want nothing to do with no grits they don’t get need them but you know if you if you know how to make and learn how to make some cream gravy or milk gravy with sausage in it and make some biscuits and put in it and where you can just dip it in that milk gravy with the sausage and get back to them and boy and and you you can cook in some scrambled eggs or something to go with it or something but you know sometimes when I go to a restaurant down here it just says you just get milk gravy and biscuits with sauces in it and man it’s some kind of good how could he not like that mama’s mama’s Mama used to make it man Charlie yes Charlotte make it it make it make you want to slap you Mama it was so good I’m telling you so your grandma made something that made you want to slap her daughter your mama yeah I mean it was that good but uh you know so only thing I tell you is if what you’ve cooked for him and something like that that you cook for them if that don’t work you might as well just forget it cause for marriage no not the marriage but just sometimes you can you can take somebody out their culture and try to get them to like what you like and I I’m just gonna say this probably gonna offend some people but sometimes when you are Yankee and you’re from up North you just don’t like Southern stuff I’m telling you that’s yours that’s on you yeah that’s your problem Yankee yeah so guys you know call him a Yankee can we still can you do that I don’t know I don’t know Dad I don’t I don’t know if you can call it I don’t know I told you I might get in trouble for this but you know when where I live at in Myrtle Beach we have Yankees to move down here all the time you know a lot of them come down here and they like our southern food because they must like it they come down here and stay so it’s awesome I don’t know what to tell you what anything else I tell you about helping you cook get him to light Nicole get you some sausage gravy and biscuits man you’re making me hungry dad I gotta get some of that yeah only place to get that out there’s nowhere to get that I don’t know where I would get that out here well you know they they um they make the sausage gravy in the grocery store in a can where you can get it and it ain’t too bad well you can’t find grits in a grocery store out here yeah I don’t know if you can find what you’re talking about oh I don’t know you might not can find that out there either then my kids order uh grits off the internet have it shipped at a house they do that themselves it makes me pretty proud well you know we link we usually have a thing where we uh do an ad but I got something I want to run by you okay because you you see where I’m sitting at yeah and all this room all this room in the bedroom back here and everything and then where you’re setting you got that nice little Decor behind you and you know looks like nice stuff and everything so uh man I run this by Logan and we think maybe we ought to get us a backdrop back here like with a three foot by five foot that says dispatches from Myrtle Beach oh you want a fancy backdrop like me you’re jealous that that’s exactly yes you know and look at this Dad look it’s not even in the shot I got it that gonna sign that’s not even in the shop is this gonna be good enough hey look at that well that’s pretty neat but I think you need to keep that and we need to uh you know with all those people that you’ve got out there and that graphic Department that they’re kind of working on some stuff and they go run it by you and see see what you think of it you’re putting my people to work and I don’t even know I don’t know I don’t hey this is hey you didn’t you tell me this was my show this is your show yeah yeah yeah well you’re talking about running it by me we get but it sounds like you already got my my graphics people working on it what are you doing man Logan you know you know I told her if I got her in trouble did I’d get her out of it did it I’d be the one letter to just throw me under the bus it was all my ideas so you know what what be so describe what you have in mind I have something with dispatches from Myrtle Beach and maybe some stuff like cause I live at the beach like with some waves on the back of it and in it and kind of in it and some colors like that that look like the beach and with dispatches from Myrtle Beach in it you know that’s kind of what we’ve been thinking about a little bit but uh whatever makes you happy I’m on board okay but that’s kind of like me and the mullet then you know you had to get mine and Nancy get Nancy to go along with it so you know I appreciate that sounded like we we got it on the show that he he’s kind of going along with it so we’ll see where it goes it’s your show if you want to backdrop if you’re jealous of my backdrop and I understand I totally understand it’s a nice great backdrop and you want one for yourself then I’d I want you to be happy I want you to feel like that you you this is you’re in your space you’re in your Zone and this is your thing and I I championed this oh I think it’d be I think our uh myrtlebeast would like it I think they’d really like it instead of seeing this back side of this bedroom I think they’d like it and if we ever want to just sit I kind of like the charm of the seeing the edge of the bed and Nana’s jewelry workstation but that’s just that’s just me and if I ever miss it a lot you can just pull up the shade that’s right and show it to you can I add a few things to it like I feel like I feel like it needs to have I mean I don’t know you said you wanted to have ways Hey listen if you if you get one made for the show you fix it like you want to it’ll be quite all right you’ve been doing this longer than I have it you know you just get your input and uh you and Logan and all all these people you got out there that work for you well if you put it that way just take it and run with it all right it’s a yes for me but you didn’t need it okay all right look how happy he is Logan look how happy he is so happy he’s tickled to death he’s tickled to death about it well I got a thing here you you want to play the uh Southern slaying gang with me again yes that was my impression of you okay you didn’t get it y’all better not that’s along you don’t understand Southern anymore all right how’s this gonna work if you uh if you you know anything about pigs uh uh are you telling me how the game works or are you playing the game no I’m playing the game oh good because okay all right uh I’m sorry bacon I know a little bit about pigs yeah I know about pork loin I know about bacon I know about ham hocks I know about pickled pig’s feet even though I don’t like those well do you know about them if they’re alive and what they like like slop well they like slop is this a word or a scene it’s a saying I don’t know a saying about it where would I use this same if you’re happy about something I’m happy as a pig and the pig’s not in I’m happy it’s a pig and slop no I’m happy as a pig in mud oh there you go is that is that it that’s it that’s pretty close Happy’s a pig and happy as a pig in a mud bath cause pigs can’t they don’t sweat and they that’s reason you’d see them watering in a uh in the mud and in the water and that that’s what cooled them off because they don’t have glands where they sweat why not yeah so if I’m face to face with God the first thing you want me to ask God is why pigs don’t sweat because I I don’t know if I don’t know how much time I’m gonna have a guy you know it’s like should that be the first question no I didn’t I no you you leading me on now I don’t believe that’ll be the first question that you uh if you get hey now that I’m here I got something that’s been burning me up why did you make pigs what are you put in sweat but dogs don’t sweat either right that’s why they pant the pigs don’t pant they Waller because they’re more they don’t have as much fur Okay give me another one okay okay if you if you’re doing something and you want somebody to wait on you what’s the saying that you might would say uh about waiting y’all go y’all go ahead I’ll be there directly is that it that’s a good one but that ain’t it I’ll be I’ll be there directly if you want to hold on about something what hold your horses there you go hold your horses that’s the easy one that almost sounds Western yeah hold your heart hold your horses boy oh I’m Batman are we doing this okay okay all right um what happens when you uh might grab a doorknob grab a doorknob yeah it’s a saying that you got to keep this in mind it’s a saying take a hold of it well you have to take a hold of it yeah just give it a yank twist it jerk it grab it grab it and jerk it and twist it grab it and twist it and jerk it I don’t know slicker than snot on the doorknob oh but what is that what’s the situation what does that mean it just means that you go to grab it and somebody’s put Vaseline or put snot on it where you can’t get it opening you can’t open it so we never heard slicking it’s not on the doorknob no I’ve never heard that so it’s basically when something is slippery yep somebody just mopped in here it slickered and snot on a doorknob that’s right okay okay the last one we’re gonna do is got something to do when we go to church okay and goes over like a fart in church no it did but that that’s a good one that went over like a farting Church if the person that’s in church is is nervous about being there and nervous but being in church it ain’t somebody you’d expect to be in church and they’re nervous about it when you talk about nervous I think about uh as as nervous as a long long tail cat in a room full of rocking chairs well that would be a pretty good one but that ain’t the one that ain’t the one about what what we got today give me one of the words sweating sweating like a something in church yep sweating like a in church that’s it is that it sweating more than a hooker sitting in the front rail of the church oh wow you know what all are welcome that’s right thanks for the education yeah well you know sometimes I still try to teach you a little something I don’t know every time Dad can use it every single time we get together I learn something new and so do the people the Myrtle beasts well you know what we’ve been over some good stuff today and if you got a joke or a question in
